Great question! I really like the CET brand of dental pet products. I would get Voodoo a pet toothbrush and toothpaste, and brush her teeth daily. You can also get her Dentasticks as a daily treat.

Could you please recommend some good dog dental products?
Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Here is a list of the products I typically recommend: 1. CET oral rinse 2. CET enzymatic toothpaste 3. Oravet chews 4. Plaque off 5. CET chlorhexidine chews Not all of these will work but I have had some mixed success using all of these. My favorite is the Oravet chew as it employs an additive known as Delmopinol to prevent tartar formation. Oravet chews are only available in veterinary clinics so you may have a hard time finding this one online. All of the other products you can find online. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

What is a good and safe product / brand for cleaning my dogs teeth?
Virbac also makes a great range of CET Enzymatic toothpastes that help to "dissolve" plaque and prevent plaque build up. https://us.virbac.com/product/dental/cet-enzymatic-toothpaste-for-dogs-and-cats These are widely available on the internet and though veterinarians and pet stores.

What is the best and easiest way to routinely clean my dog's teeth? Are the chew sticks beneficial? She has great teeth and I would like to keep them healthy. Any specific recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Sasha. Good on you for caring about her dental health! The best thing I can recommend is daily brushing with a canine toothbrush and canine toothpaste. I love the CET brand of dental products for dogs, they are excellent. Chew sticks are ok, and you can use something like Dentasticks as a daily treat, but they won't have as good effects as brushing. I hope this helps!

Help! My 10 year old chihuahua has gingivitis and I cannot afford a veterinarian at the moment. I have done some research about home remedies such as Aloe Vera with hydrogen peroxide, but I don’t want to take any risks of poisoning my chihuahua. I ne
Hello. Lily does need a good teeth cleaning, but I do not see anything alarming in her mouth. She may need a few teeth removed, but more likely a professional cleaning is all that is needed. I would go to this website as it lists all products recommended by veterinary oral care specialists. You can see what foods, chews, toothpastes, & water additives are recommended to prevent further damage to Lily's teeth, & to keep them healthy after you can finally afford to have a good, professional cleaning done. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. https://www.vohc.org/accepted_products.htm

What dog bones are the best for teeth cleaning purposes?
Hello! I personally love the Greenies brand dental chews for my dogs! You can also smear some dog toothpaste on their other toys, like a nylabone for example, to make a fun teeth brushing treat for him. :) I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Boop by Petco!

What is the best tooth paste for dogs? Is it Virbac or which? Also do you recommend a specific mouthwash?
Hello. That is a great question. People have different preferences but I personally recommend the poultry flavored toothpaste by CET. I like that it has enzymes in it so any contact with the tooth will start working on the tartar and bacteria. As far as mouthwash goes I like the one from OraVet that you can put into their drinking water to help flush their mouse as they drink.

Any recommended brands for toothpaste and tooth brush?
Hello, and thank you for your question. I am a fan of the Virbac C.E.T. line of dental products. They have toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental treats for dogs. If you need a place to start, you can check out Youtube for many videos that give step by step instructions on how to introduce Korbyn to teeth brushing in a positive manner! I hope this helps! Good luck!

hello..may i ask, what are the home remedies to treat a dog's gingivitis?thanks a lot
Unfortunately the only way to really treat this issue is with dental scaling and polish performed by your veterinarian. There are some products which may offer a little help including an oral hygeinr rinse by CET http://m.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=24579, or the CET toothpaste if your dog will tolerate this, but really we would need to evaluate the teeth and see if there are underlying causes for the gingivitis.

What can I use as a home remedy for gingivitis in a dog?
I would get a dog toothbrush and toothpaste from the pet store, and brush Sweet Pea's teeth daily. There are specific dental chews you can get as well to help with the gingivitis, and I would recommend feeding her a dry dog food which help breaks up plaque. You can also get a oral canine mouth wash which will help break up plaque and clean her mouth. It is important to have her mouth examined by a vet, however, as gingivitis can't be cured at home. Gingivitis can be very severe and will require a dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing. Teeth can be loosened by deep pockets created by gingivitis, and may need to be removed if they are too loose.
